Like fellow Dutch band the Ex (with whom the band has collaborated on multiple projects), the Dog Faced Hermans will thrill you with their uncanny ability to play as one dynamic unit. Masters of momentum, the band construct complex, angular marches out of urgent, scratchy guitar work and a fabulous stop-on-a-dime rhythm section. Marion's powerful vocals manage to engage even the most skeptical listener, challenging the audience to bold political ideas delivered with utterly compelling sincerity. Sublime trumpet melodies steeped in regional folk traditions complete this unique band's sound, triumphantly rising above what might initially seem as cacophony to the uninitiated.
